The Room, Apartment & Building

The room is currently unfurnished, however if needed, Wilson will buy a bed and TV.
Gorgeous 20th floor views from both your room and the balcony.
Dependable high speed Wi-Fi Internet.
Use of the washing machine.
Facilities include a pool, sauna, small gym, and security at the main entrance.
All visitors are announced by phone via the security desk.
The building includes a few small 7-11 type convenience stores with food staples, alcohol, etc. There is also a small place to get your hair and nails done.
Our building is called Torre del Rio (part of the “Ciudad del Rio” complex, which is all you have to tell any taxi driver to get you home).

Location

Ciudad del Rio is located in El Poblado, the city’s most upscale neighborhood.
The development includes several apartment buildings, Medellin’s Modern Art Museum, parks, a skateboard bowl, Bonuar Restaurant, several cafes, and ATM machines. There are always lots of visible security guards in the complex.
10 minute walk to either the Poblado or Industriales metro stations.
10 minute walk to Exito Poblado near the metro station.
10 minute walk to Premium Plaza mall (Carrefour supermarket, Bodytech gym).
15 minute walk to studio I use in Patio Bonito where you can take salsa lessons.
20 minute walk or 5,000 COP taxi ride to Parque Lleras.
20 minute walk or short bus ride to EAFIT University.

Rules

The main rule of the apartment is to have respect for the other people, and their belongings. Friends, overnight guests, girlfriends, and boyfriends are all welcome and they too should be respectful.

No hard drugs or prostitutes. If you smoke, it’s preferred you do so on the balcony.

Food

Wilson buys groceries twice a month, so if you give 50,000 COP every two weeks then you can enjoy some of his famous Colombian cooking. Seriously, if it weren’t for his cooking, I’d be living on cereal.
